ICSS 2016
Industrial Control System Security Workshop,
Held in conjunction with
32nd Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC),
Los Angeles, California,
December 6, 2016
(Submissions due 19 September 2016)
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and industrial
control systems monitor and control a wide range of industrial and
infrastructure processes such as water treatment, power generation and
transmission, oil and gas refining and steal manufacturing. Such
systems are usually built using a variety of commodity computer and
networking components, and are becoming increasingly interconnected
with corporate and other Internet-visible networks. As a result, they
face significant threats from internal and external actors. For
example, in 2010 the Stuxnet malware was specifically written to
attack SCADA systems and caused millions of dollars in damages.
The critical requirement for high availability in SCADA and industrial
control systems, along with the use of resource constrained computing
devices, legacy operating systems and proprietary software
applications limits the applicability of traditional information
security solutions. The goal of this workshop is to explore new
security techniques that are applicable in the control systems
context. Papers of interest including (but not limited to) the
following subject categories are solicited:
Intrusion detection and prevention
Malware
Vulnerability analysis and risk management
Digital forensics
Virtualization
Application security
Performance evaluation of security methods and tools in control systems
Cybersecurity Education
